Still very youthful and vibrant. Tannins still pretty pungent and plenty of acid. Maybe not as rounded and polished as the Carlisle but very enjoyable in a rustic way.

Decanted for at least 2 hours for a meal with Tadhg of grilled sockeye salmon, sweet potatoes, caprese salad and greens with lemon. Warm, woodsy nose. Heady, spicy fruit--- plum, ginger, white pepper. A splendid specimen that is drinking really well right now and will likely continue to do so for several more years. Sad that this is my last bottle.

This has toned down a bit from the time of the release, which is a good thing. Did not like it on release. Quite a lot of fruit left. Spicy, smoky.

Very impressive how this wine came evolved over 3-4 years from almost undrinkable to a very fine syrah.
